The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
With the heartbreak open So much you can't hide Put on a little make-up, make-up Make sure they get your good side good side If the words unspoken Get stuck in your throat Send a treasure token, token Write it on a pound note, pound note Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do? You don't drink don't smoke - what do you do? Subtle innuendoes follow There must be something inside We don't follow fashion That would be a joke You know we're gonna set them, set them So everyone can take note, take note When they saw you kneeling Crying words that you mean Opening their eyeballs, eyeballs Pretending that you're al green, al green Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do? You don't drink don't smoke - what do you do? Subtle innuendoes follow Must be something inside No one's gonna tell me What's wrong or what's right Or tell me who to eat with, sleep with Or that I've won the big fight, big fight Look out or they'll tell you You're a "superstar" Two weeks and you're an all time legend I think the games have gone much too far If the words unspoken Get stuck in your throat Send a treasure token, token Write it on a pound note, pound note Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do? You don't drink don't smoke - what do you do? Subtle innuendoes follow Must be something inside (he's hiding)
